NCIt definition : A plasmid vector encoding interleukin-12 (IL-12) with potential use in the gene therapy
of cancer. pNGVL3-hIL12 may induce a high level of IL-12 protein expression during
transient transfection of host cells. IL-12 is a proinflammatory cytokine with numerous
immunoregulatory functions and may augment host immune responses to tumor cells. (NCI04);
